About this work

This painting shows a woman riding a horse in a dreamy, hazy landscape. The woman wears a flowing dress and a crown, while the horse looks almost ghostly with its pale, see-through form. Behind them, buildings and trees blend into the background like a faded sketch. Notice how the paint is thick in some spots, giving the scene a textured, almost rough feel. The colors are soft and muddy, like a memory half-forgotten. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
